  1. 2018 4RT Base model

    in Montesa

    Posted

    Hi all,

    its been a while, but I'm returning again !

    just looking for some advise - reviews on the 2018 4RT  -  it'll be my first 4 stroke, previously had Beta's Rev's and Evo 2t's

    Just don't want to make an expensive mistake !

    thanks in advance

  2. Off Road Motorcycle Insurance - Affecting Car Insurance?

    in Road Legal, MOT, Insurance etc

    different insurance types, by the sounds of it this is a Road policy, with cover for road riding. you MUST have a reg number to get this.

    General theft cover, these are wide and varied but are not a road policies and are usually closer to freight cover, these shouldn't affect a future road

    insurance policy, but as I said, should have read the policy docs and discussed at that point (there must have been a reg number on the policy, this should have rung alarm bells)

  6. Couple Of Questions

    in Gas Gas

    I always follow the same routine, my bikes are always spotless!

    1. hose (not jetwash) all the loose dirt off

    2. while the bike is wet spray on (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Wax-Professional-Traffic-Remover/dp/B004G3X6WQ) I use this neat with a pump up garden sprayer, cover everywhere and leave for 3 mins

    3. using the hose on fan re wash the bike , the dirt will just drop off !

    4. I leave to drip dry for a bit then dry using compressed air.

    5. once dry cover the metal parts with WD40, I cover nearly evey inch of the bike except discs and calipers

    I get really good results doing this and my bikes look like new

  9. How Long Until The Wtc Implodes?

    in World Championship Chat

    just look to MotoGP and WSB and to some extent BSB - formats for televised events only?

    will the WTC get the TV audiences?

    Do the factories still need this level of competition for development? (a club bike is a long way from a WTC bike)

    Andy you're bang right with your call on the 'old gaurd', but who will step up to the mark?

  16. Say Hello Wave Goodbye

    Well, its been a blast this time but all good things come to an end, just sold up and moving onto other things, that's the 3rd time!

    Thanks to all the friends I made along the way, I'm sure I will look in at one or two trials through the year, might even observe, mind you there just will be some dodgy 5's !

    Cheers

  19. What's Happened To Trials In The Midland Centre ?

    in UK Trials Talk

    Posted

    its funny but in the last 12 months i know quite a few people that have become disillusioned with the whole club trials scene, some clubs near us are down to under 20 per event with some less than 15 on the main course, why?

    Lack of interest?

    Finances?

    Attitudes of organising club?

    Rules?

    I Dont know why, all i know is that in 2011 i reckon i rode 35 trials, in 2012 i rode 6,

  24. Trials Bike Apocalypse

    beat me to it........rip the throttle cable off, dont nancy about with it, really go for it, then let go (obviously) might need a new cable but its cheaper than Nicosil. :hyper:

    back in the 1980's i saw a Yamaha tz700 sidecar engine explode early one cold spring morning at Cadwell Park, would you believe the two stroke oil emulsified with the damp morning air, driver gives it a rev, slides stuck full open, YYYIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG.... BWARRRPPPPPPP! silence, then lots of swearing. Bloody good job he wasn't riding it! (actually even better i wasn't fixing it !! )
